Most nail polishes (even OPI) don't stand up to my dish washing routine. Considering I don't have a dishwasher....
Get some fun dish washing gloves to protect your manicure and also from soap drying out your hands. I'm kind of Howard Hughes/Joan Crawford about some of my cleaning since I have cats, and I have different gloves for each task: dishes, bathroom cleaning, household cleaning, kitchen cleaning, cats (I scrub out their litter boxes) and write the chore inside the cuff. My local Wal-Mart has pairs with patterned cuffs for under $3 as does Ross. I broke in a new pair this weekend cleaning the inside of my dishwasher and I looked quite glamorous removing the rust, hard water deposits, and gross stuff I don't want to really know about.

Are there any brands y'all see or use that are without formaldehyde, other than OPI? Since I live in a small rural area I'm limited, but if I knew what brands to look for I can use the internet for orders. I'm also avoiding toluene, but with a good base coat it may be tolerated, but formaldehyde is a deal breaker.
